1. A moving picture coding apparatus that codes a current block, the moving picture coding apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory storage, the processor performing, using the non-transitory storage, processes including:
deriving a first motion vector candidate, the first motion vector candidate being a first motion vector that has been used to code a first block;
deriving a second motion vector candidate, the second motion vector candidate being a second motion vector that has been used to code a second block that is different from the first block;
generating a new candidate, the new candidate being a combination of the first motion vector candidate and the second motion vector candidate;
selecting one candidate from the first motion vector candidate, the second motion vector candidate, and the new candidate; and
coding the current block by using the selected candidate.
